Project description

The GIAff4ID project, focusing on using games to enhance affectivity in young people with intellectual disabilities, aims to challenge stereotypes surrounding sexual and emotional education for this demographic. The crucial factor in achieving this goal is to deliver high-quality education by disseminating information that considers diverse abilities and learning needs. Customizable content will be developed to cater to various capacities and adapt to different environments and contexts. The project’s objective is to implement these activities through play while concurrently producing materials for youth workers on utilizing and adjusting them to their specific working contexts. Worker training will contribute to establishing networks and fostering the exchange of best practices among youth associations in this field.

Project objectives

Increase the quality, innovation and recognition of youth work by reinforcing the creativity, skills and social commitment of workers in the youth field. Improve youth workers’ understanding of the context and their ability to raise awareness. Develop games for young people working in the youth field and complementary training materials for youth workers, with the aim of turning both groups into active promoters of inclusion. Strengthen fundamental European values, in particular, reinforce the key principles of freedom, equality and human rights of the JEMAD. Promote the integration of people with disabilities in society to guarantee their participation in community life.

Project results

Guidance toolkit for youth workers and carers on teaching sexuality education to young people with disabilities. Set of games on sexual education for young people with disabilities and teaching materials for youth workers and caregivers.
